In
a world as vast as Earth, there is a lot going on, some of which may not be

at the NCAA men’s basketball final in Arlington, Texas; this is a surprise to

Prince George is on his first royal tour. While visiting Wellington, New
Zealand he attended a parent support group, in which he got to play with other
children. However, at one point, he stole a doll from one of his peers, but his

us.

Thebarge, a 79-year-old substitute teacher in New Hampshire quits her job,
rather than “unfriend” her students on Facebook, after given the ultimatum.
A
lawsuit is taking place in West Babylon, New York, by 85-year-old nursing home
resident Bernice Youngblood after allegedly becoming a victim of “disgraceful
sexual perversion.” This happened when a male stripper came to the nursing home
to perform a show. The state Health Department is investigating the incident.

State University raised $13.3 million for pediatric cancer research in their
